A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 229

When he came out, he said nothing.

t a single word.

Which somehow worried me more.

Then there was Adrian.

I honestly wasn’t prepared for Adrian.

Partly because I hadn’t seen him in weeks.

Partly because my brain was apparently no longer processing information correctly.

He arrived carrying luggage.

Smiling.

Happy.

Suspiciously happy.

The moment he entered the suite, he wrapped an arm around Clara’s shoulders proudly.

“Good news.”

I stared at him.

He stared back.

Waiting.

Apparently expecting a reaction.

I had none.

Finally Adrian sighed dramatically.

“We got married.”

Silence.

Everyone looked at me.

Waiting.

And the only thought that entered my exhausted brain was:

Wait.

What?

I blinked once.

Then twice.

Then looked at Clara.

My CFO.

My friend.

he woman currently carrying a child.

Then back at Adrian.

Then back at Clara.

Then back at Adrian.

“You’re married?”

“Yes.”

I stared.

“You got married.”

“Yes.”

Another pause.

Then the most important question in human history escaped my mouth.

“Where the hell was my invitation?”

The room exploded into laughter.

Jason nearly choked on his coffee.

Alice fell off the couch.

Even Clara looked guilty.

Adrian looked horrified.

“Amber!”

“No.”

I pointed directly at him.

“No.”

My exhaustion temporarily vanished beneath pure outrage.

“You married my CFO.”

“She’s my wife.”

“Exactly.”

I pointed at Clara.

“My CFO.”

Clara started laughing.

“I was in another country!”

Adrian defended himself.

You have phones!”

“We were trying to keep things quiet!”

“You got married!”

The children were openly enjoying the argument now.

Jason looked entirely too entertained.

And for the first time in weeks…

For the first time since my grandfather collapsed…

For the first time since arriving in Sum…

I laughed.

A real laugh.

Not because anything was okay.

Because it wasn’t.

Grandfather was still unconscious.

The Vincents were still out there.

The war was still coming.

But surrounded by family, friends, children, and the man who never left my side…

For one brief moment…

I remembered I wasn’t fighting alone.

when?

Amber POV

The arrival of Adrian and Clara somehow made the hospital suite feel smaller.

Not physically.

Emotionally.

There were simply too many people now.

Too many voices.

Too many personalities colliding inside what had become our temporary headquarters.

And honestly?

I welcomed it.

For weeks everything had revolved around poisonings, investigations, hospitals, and death.

Seeing people laugh felt almost foreign.

Clara looked beautiful.

Exhausted.

Pregnant.

But beautiful.

I hadn’t realized just how much time had passed until I saw her.

The last time we had worked together in person, her pregnancy had barely shown.

Now…

Now there was absolutely no hiding it.

“Seven months?” I asked in disbelief.

Clara smiled while rubbing her stomach.

“Seven months.”

I stared.

“How are you still walking?”

Adrian looked horrified.

“Amber!”

“What?”

Clara laughed.

“I ask myself the same thing every morning.”

The children immediately surrounded her.

Which, in hindsight, should have worried me.

Alice was the first to notice the obvious.

She pointed directly at Clara’s stomach.

“Why is there a baby in your belly?”

Silence.

The room immediately froze.

Every adult suddenly found something fascinating elsewhere.

The walls.

The ceiling.

The floor.

Anything except Alice.

Rose looked curious.

Iris looked uncomfortable.

And Alex…

Alex looked physically ill.

Actually ill.

He dramatically turned toward his sister.

“Believe me.”

He shuddered.

“You don’t want to know.”

The room exploded into laughter.

Even Clara nearly choked.

Alice looked offended.

“Why?”

Alex pointed accusingly at absolutely nobody.

“Because grown-up explanations are horrifying.”

I narrowed my eyes.

“Alex.”

The little traitor immediately looked away.

“Yes, Mom Amber?”

What exactly are you doing knowing enough to say that?”

His expression became deeply suspicious.

Jason immediately joined the conversation.

“Actually,” he said while sipping his coffee, “I’m relieved.”

I looked at him.

“Relieved?”

Jason nodded.

“That’s one awkward conversation we won’t have to have later.”

Alex pointed at him immediately.
